I know this has been asked before, but it’s more confusing now with the addition of alcohol to the dining plans. Our group is myself, DH, and our boys (6 and 2). We have DVC and will be visiting twice in 2018, so will be upgrading to APs and eligible for TIW. Our first trip is in Jan. 3 nights at AK-Jambo and 4 at BWV. We’ll head back in late summer for probably 4 nights (waiting on work schedule). DH and I will have 2 drinks with most meals on vacation, and we pretty much only do TS with a signature dinner most nights. If we had TiW we’d probably do a bottle of wine with dinner most nights, but if DxDP I might have glasses and DH cocktails. Dining is a big part of our trips, and no we don’t drive to and from dinner, lol. We did DxDP on one other trip and I think we got our money’s worth, but TiW wasn’t an option that year. These are my ADRs so far. I might tweak a bit if we did DxDP.
1: Lunch TH, dinner Boma
2: L Skipper’s, D Jiko
3: L Sanaa, D Tiffin’s
4: L H&V, D Trattoria al Forno
5: B Garden Grill, L ?? (Snack credits?) D Flying Fish
6: L Crystal Palace, D Le Cellier (only DH and I this meal)
7: L Coral Reef, D Yachtsman
8: departure no ADRs
If we did TiW I would probably cancel Yachtsman, because we want to try Kimono sushi at the S/D. Might also cancel Coral Reef since that day is a late start for us at Epcot. If we do DxDP we will use snack credits for breakfast, and either way we’ll have groceries for the room. Also, we could add another sit-down meal or two with DxDP (or upgrade to a signature) and use credits for the adult meals only (pay cash for kids) to get more value.
Thoughts?
